“Lovely relaxing pet friendly farm stay with welcoming hosts”
Beautiful old style farm cottage, with very comfortable beds and everything we needed for us and our dogs to have a relaxing stay. The family were welcoming and generous including giving us some fresh goats cheese from their goats.

“One of the most memorable stays”
The cottage is old but very clean. There are lots of things to do for a short stay especially feeding animals. We were lucky to see baby goats born.

Neri and her family welcomed us warmly. The place was very clean, tidy, and had everything we needed. There was even a table tennis set, lots of books, board games, and more. Neri provided us with firewood and helped us light the wood stove. She treated my daughter like her own—taking her along to milk the goats and cows, feed the animals, and collect eggs from the chooks. It was truly a dreamlike experience for my daughter. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable time. Everything was just perfect. We will definitely come back.

“A real authentic farmstay”
The house had real old world charm. It was comfy, spacious and homely. I liked the farm as it was really authentic feel and with goats, chickens and cows. Some of the buildings were really old and weatherd which gave it the old country charm. It felt like you were going back in time. Very peaceful and quite. If you want to disconnect from the stress of city life, this is a place to come.

“Lovely country escape for the family, with friendly goats and plenty of games.”
Our family really enjoyed our long weekend away at this farmstay. Close to Alexandra and the rail trail but felt very rural and a great escape from the city. Our kids loved the friendly goats, table tennis and board games. The 3 bedroom house had plenty of room for our family of 5 and the beds were super comfortable. The host Neri was responsive and welcoming.

Extra touch of roses in all the rooms- immediately noticed by the ladies in my group. Amazing selection of books, games and puzzles. Feeding the goats. Seeing the newly hatched chickens. Comfortable beds. Cosy fire.

“Would definitely book again.”
Clean, country peaceful but close to town. Enough play equipment to entertain a little boy outdoors including feeding the animals.

“A proper Farmstay, allowing the family to just switch off and enjoy the animals and rural surroundings.”
Loved the quiet, family time in front of the fire. Kids loved feeding the animals and playing in the gardens. Neri and family were so friendly and welcoming, can’t wait to come back!

The hosts were genuinely nice, friendly people. Besides a warm welcome (and some fresh farm eggs - Yum) they took us around the farm at feeding time to meet a variety of animals. Great for kids and a good location for the Rail trail and other local attractions. We'll definitely try and get back with the grandkids for the baby goats.

“Authentic farm stay experience with beautiful surrounds on a friendly, family orientated property.”
The farm stay experience was wonderful, being able to interact with the animals which were extremely tame and friendly made it an authentically enjoyable experience for both myself and my four year old.
